Thank you.

Thanks so much for having me.

Yes, I mean, I think there's been some very lots of disturbing trends, I would say, in the last 30 years.

You know, we've seen this rise in cancers in the under 50s.

And there's also more and more people getting inflammatory diseases at like a young age, which they normally would have got like in their 60s or 70s.

People are getting these diseases in their 20s and 30s now.

And also we've got rising rates of infertility.

And all of this kind of points towards the fact that people are aging faster than they should.

Exactly.

Because I think what's often kind of quite key in aging is that, you know, a lot of people are sort of getting lots of these horrible chronic diseases now, lots of kind of by their 40s, 50s and 60s.

And, you know, the big the big challenge for public health is to allow people to sort of live longer and disease free, you know, so they can get into their like 70s, 80s and 90s before they have like one of these diseases.

Exactly.

I mean, I think nutrition is a very interesting one with aging because it's something which is perhaps the most within our control.

You know, we all like to eat three meals a day, you know, and so it's the thing which we can perhaps influence most when it comes to how well we age.

And particularly like, for example, like sort of the rising numbers of cancers in the under 50s, we now have quite clear evidence that a lot of the reason for that is because a lot of us simply aren't getting enough fiber in our diet.

Yeah.

So basically across the book, I describe kind of 10 forms of nutritional stress.

So different things like which we're even not doing or things we're eating, which are not good for us in our diet, which are basically stressing our bodies, which is accelerating aging in different ways.

So, for example, to give you a couple of examples, you know, many of us are eating essentially too much.

You know, we're basically from the moment we wake to the moment we sleep, we're
